Yes, clear chicken broth (like strained Campbell's without noodles or solids) is generally okay for colonoscopy prep, but you must avoid anything red, purple, orange, or cloudy, and ensure there are no solids like noodles, vegetables, or meat, as you need to stick to a clear liquid diet. Broth helps with hydration and electrolytes, but check your doctor's specific instructions, as some brands might contain additives to avoid.
A clear liquid diet limits you to options such as water, broth and plain gelatin. These are easy to digest, and they don't leave food bits in your digestive tract.
Liquids that you can see through at room temperature (about 78-72 degrees Fahrenheit) are considered clear liquids. This includes clear juices, broths, hard candy, ices and gelatin.
Homemade JELL-O out of the box and broth (like Campbell's chicken noodle soup without the noodles) are permitted up until midnight before the procedure. Make sure your child has access to clear liquids other than water to prevent dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.
Coffee or tea (no cream) Clear soup, beef broth, chicken broth, bone broth, bouillon.
Full Liquid Diet A full liquid diet is a short-term diet used as a transition step between clear liquids and solid foods. Foods from the Clear Liquid Diet are allowed. Juice (with pulp), broth, strained cream soup, strained cereal, pudding, and ice cream are also included.

Mix the colonoscopy prep with lemon-lime Gatorade or Crystal Light. Mix the traditional GoLYTELY prep drink with some lemon-lime Gatorade, or a clear flavor of Crystal Light. It'll make the prep medication taste better.
Method

Fluids carry nutrients and oxygen to your cells, aid digestion, prevent constipation, normalize blood pressure, regulate body temperature and maintain electrolyte (sodium) balance, to name a few. Chicken broth, a clear liquid, counts towards your hydration goals.
Recent studies have shown that the 4 liter polyethylene glycol with a split preparation is safe and effective for elderly patients, and is the preferred preparation for patients with medical comorbidites.
As soon as the nausea goes away, continue to drink clear liquids to prevent cramping. Also when you restart the drinking process, try drinking the prep more slowly. You can also try to drink the prep solution through a straw. Then rinse your mouth out with water right away to limit the unpleasant taste some will have.
Beef Broth (250 mL) Campbell's® Concentrated Beef Broth is up to 4x concentrated (vs. Campbell's® 900 mL Ready to Use Beef Broth) so that you can dial up and down the flavour intensity of your dishes. Simply add less water for more flavour!
Broth is stock's cousin but has some key differences. Although both stock and broth involve simmering in water, broth uses meat while stock uses bones.
